Hello,
I want to install a custom ROM (Lineage OS) on my Redmi 4. The problem is, that I can't get TWRP installed.
It's successfully flashed, but when i get into recovery its just MI-Recovery 3
What i know so far, that MIUI reverts the recovery back to stock.
I found many tutorials online, but none of them worked for me.
Some tutorials said, that I have to reboot directly from fastboot to recovery. But then the key combination did not work. Just when the phone is shut down.
Currently the following OS is installed:
MIUI Global 10.2 | Stable
10.2.2.0 (MCEMIXM)
Android Version: 6.0.1 MMB29M
Best regards
Try OrangeFox recovery, different versions of TWRP, etc ...
It's not uncommon to happen, try to boot directly to recovery.
Your bootloader unlocked?
Thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately I already tried all these versions https://dl.twrp.me/santoni/
The bootloader is unlocked.
With boot directly to recovery you mean:
fastboot.exe boot twrp-3.5.2_9-0-santoni.img
There I get the following error: dtb not found
When I type in the comman a second time my device changes to "qhsusb_bulk" in the device manager, which i guess is no good sign.

That line is the key to the solution, check this thread.
Nice, now I am able to get into TWRP.
But saddly my screen is now not responsive.
It asks immediately for a password, but I cant press anything. Is that a known issue or is there a known fix?

That's a known bug. The developer said that it is your actual phone's password/pin.
Check TWRP thread of your device, other users also got this problem. And they got a way through.
Managed to brick the device :/.
Had to flash with MiFlash again.
I tried an OTG Cable, but its not supported with my phone.
Tried different recovery images.
Found that issue with other phones, but not in the TWRP thread of the redmi 4.
Found one that was working for me

Its pretty old, but finally working.
I guess my problem was, that I own the china version, which is prada and not santoni.

Yeah that model causes confusion. Thanks for the hint.
For that phone literally no custom roms exists.
I found one with lineage OS, which is pretty much outdated and wifi is not working fine.
Probably going back to stock rom.

hello friends I have a problem when I unlock mi 9 install the twrp that says on the page xiaomi.eu and I liked the rom and wanting to update to 9.6.13 try to enter the twrp and I can not appear the black screen and restart to the rom that I currently have from xiaomi.eu 9.6.5 someone can help me.. !
I would fastboot flash the siankatabg version of TWRP which can decrypt the MI 9 properly and then try going into TWRP again. That version of TWRP works better than the one on the MIUI.EU site.
You can also try removing all of your phone security (fingerprint, pin, pattern or whatever you have) and then seeing if you have better luck with your current TWRP version.
BUT I have tried 3 different unnoficial versions of TWRP for the MI 9 and the siankatabg version is the only one that worked well for me.
Please TWRP
May I ask why ?

because everytime i flash an unofficial version of TWRP i mess up my phone. its hard to pick up a version, etc. I had to downgrade my miui version 3 times, and still i messed up. i lost trust for twrp.
when i wanted to flash lingeageOS it always rebooted back to recovery and said that no OS is installed. so i gave up on custom roms.
currently my miui is 12.0.3.0, in case you want to help me.

So i have a Redmi 9c (Angelica) 4/128 ID: M2006C3MG whitch is OEM unlocked (after waiting one week) then i followed all the steps to flash the recovery but everytime i have a black screen instead, i checked adb and it says that my device is in recovery mode.
I even reinstalled the official rom with XiaomiTools V2 but i got same results.
Here are the custom recoveries i tried :
-Official OrangeFox Recovery: https://orangefox.download/fr-FR/device/garden
-Unofficial TWRP from a redmi 9c telegram channel: https://t.me/R9CID_Update/62
-Unofficial PBRP: https://unofficialtwrp.com/pbrp-root-redmi-9c/
i also tried to port twrp following: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-porting-twrp-without-source.3843473/ but i found that my stock recovery was different from the other (probably because of my Mtk chip ?) and it didn't work.
I spent a whole day searching working guides but i think that i'm the only one with this issue... i appreciate any help !
I fixed it by porting the telegram redmi 9c twrp into my redmi 9c...
I think it's because of the miui updates or just my global version, anyway here is my twrp for people with the same phone and same problem https://mega.nz/file/UXwBSDjQ#queK8AjP4bQ81TbEyuBDochwRKRTkzkPbdXGzxLfP30
(it is in chinese juste change the language into english by following a youtube tutorial)

I have fugured it out ..thanks please consider this closed.
Experience contribution, maybe useful for someone. Redmi Note 11, install guide on PE website did not work for me: fastboot flash boot [PE recovery image] resulted in brick (no luck also using fastboot v33 instead of v28 included in Ubuntu distro) . I had to install TWRP then PE image from TWRP (TWRP gets overwritten with PE recovery then).
Also, might happen that phone app has no sound, no mic recognized, no sound in and out during calls. Just need to reflash once again the PE image, then works. Cheers.
